How did we get so far off topic?  I was really enjoying reading people's stories about their singledom.

Er, sticking to the point of the OP, I'm single and very happy and I've read that onions are bad for cats, so you might want to read the soup label before giving it to them.

I've been married and I've been single - and I think there's something to be said for both, as long as you have the freedom to be yourself in your relationship, and that goes for both parties in a relationship.    I was married at 21 to my high school sweetheart with whom I moved in at 18, and we were together for 8 years.  I don't regret that time in my life for a second.   Although it didn't work out for us be cause we grew and changed, it was very important to me and I learned a lot.   As cliche as it sounds, life is a learning experience, and no event is for naught.   I landed with a crash into the single dating scene, and on the one hand, I didn't feel I was missing much, but on the other, there are wonderful guys out there just as people, and the friends I made, both men and women.   I enjoyed my single life very much too.   There's a lot to be said for sharing your happiness with someone too.   I'm married now and have been for the past 20 years.   I say whatever makes you happy - if you are happy single and independent, good for you!   There's no rule that says everyone has to be partnered.

But the real question is, is the cat single?

Roger Ebert tweeted this appropriate gem this morning:

ebertchicago Some people are single. Others are soloists.

I am reminded of what Mona Ramsay said in Tales of the City when faced with similar prospects "I think what I really need is five good friends."

"I think what I really need is five good friends."



Love that. That's all anyone needs, really.


In the late 70's (   ) I worked with a friend in New York (still dear friends more than thirty years later, even though she shuttles, at the moment, between San Francisco and Dublin, Ireland). She was a San Franciscan, born and bred, she would get her care packages from home that included copies of the San Francisco Chronicle, and all our co-workers would steal them to read the latest entries of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, which was then serialized in the newspaper before it was published in the soon-to-be famous book (followed by sequels and miniseries, etc, etc).

Anyway, as Truman mentioned Tales of the City,  and others mentioned cats, I just thought I had to mention the name of the TOTC character Mary Ann Singleton.  

Even though I'm definitely not from Ohio, I have a lot of Mary Ann in me--especially as I am a Singleton from birth, as it were--



Mrs. Madrigal: Good. You're one of us then. Welcome to 28 Barbary Lane.
Mary Ann Singleton: Thank you.
Mrs. Madrigal: Yes, you should.
Mary Ann Singleton: Do you have any objection to pets?
Mrs. Madrigal: Dear, I have no objection to anything.



I'll also mention: Maupin's eight TOTC book is called "Mary Ann in Autumn," and fittingly, it will be released on November 2!

I wonder if Jack appeared to you singletons and insisted on befriending you if you would tell him "why don't you leave me be"??

Worked for Ennis didn't?  Got all the perks without Jack being around most of the time?
